A brief the board will present to the provincial commission on private schools states it "opposes extension of public funding to private schools because it is convinced it will lead to a diye.esification of the community." The brief is one of two the board's administration has prepared do be forwarded to the, commission. The brief states that in a typical county town there may be a public and Catholic school as well as a private school, commonly referred to as a "Christian school". Yet all these students meet for the four years of secondary school. "ft is here that the community believes the beginnings of tolerance and understanding ' have commenced their growth." Besides opposing the funding extension on what it terms "philisophical grounds" the school board' is against the funding on "practical rounds Summarizing a brief it presented to an Ontario Municipal Board hearing 18 months ago, the board says that it already faces empty seats in classrooms throughlining enrolment. Statistics show that in 1 8 there was enough room for 5,985 students, but in fact there were only 3,979 students, "The Board of Education is of the opinion that the best interests of all Huron County ratepayers and, indeed, of all residents of the province, are best served by utilizing this existing space. The board is prepared to negotiate either accommodating the students within the current educational community or making educational ' accommodation avail- able to other groups within the existing educational facilities," The board, at its Dec. meeting, elected a committee which will meet with a liaison committee from the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board. The Catholic school board requested the committee. Director of education Bob Allan said this committee would have. the same authority as any other board committee, which is to discuss and negotiate. Although the committee won't actually get going until the new year, Mr. Allan satd'the members should have some time for "reading" about establishing a Catholic high school in lluron•Perth. Trustees elected were John Jewitt of RR 1, Londesboro, Donald McDonald of RR' 2, Brussels, Graeme Craig of RR 4, Walton, John Elliott. of Blyth and Catholic school supporter representative for the south end of the county Dennis Rau. Trustees Joan VandenBroeck of Saltford and Frank Falconer of RR 5, Clinton were nominated but not elected to the committee. Teachers get four per cent raise Elementary teachers with the Huron County Board of Education will receive a four per cent salary and allowance increase. The board 'and the teachers both ratified the collective agreement on Dec. 3. Superintendent of personnel Peter Gry- seels said the teachers and board representa- tives met with factfinder Emerson Lavender on Nov. 19 and.came up with an agreement at that meeting. "1 think it's a good settlement for both parties," said John Elliott, personnel com- mittee vice-chairman. John Jewitt, personnel committee chair- man, did not take part in the elementary teachers, contract as his daughter is an elefnentary school teacher in the county. "I think we're generally satisfied with what we received," said Wayne Nichols, i• 'acher spokesman. A second teacher representative, Ila Mathers, said it is positive to work with the board as opposed to working against it. "Anytime there is an open discussion it can only be a- benefit to both sides," said Mr, Nichols, The average teachers' salary under the new collective agreement will be about 536,200. There are about, 380 teachers affected by the one year agreement which runs from Sept. 1, 1984 to Aug. 31, 1985. Mr. Gryseels said that for the first time a benefit committee has been set up which will review the current benefits received under the collective agreement. Vice -principals allowances range from $3,510 per year to 54,280 per. year. Co-ordinators receive an allowance of 54,830, principals of schools for the trainable retarded receive an allowance of $5,040 and principals receive their maximum salary plus $8,740. • Allowances are added to the salary received.
